Within minutes, the agent retrieves thousands of compounds, filters out irrelevant molecules (such as buffers and solvents), and documents their sources in a report. The report also provides an initial analysis of the retrieved compound set: highlighting, for example, that the macrocycles are largel.

The same molecule can appear as an IUPAC name in a paper, a Markush structure in a patent, or a structure-data file (SDF) in a catalog.

Key facts

Summary

Zoi Tsangalidou, Ruijie (Kelly) Zhang, Sukhdeep Singh and Michael V. Designing new medicines requires curating complex data from charts, figures and literature, training predictive models, and proposing candidate molecules to synthesize, a workflow that typically takes multiple days for a single iteration. Here they show how Google Antigravity, equipped with their new Cheminformatics Skills, accelerates drug discovery workflows. Chemistry is one of science’s richest public records, spanning millions of structures across journal articles and vendor catalogs. Despite decades of progress in cheminformatics, chemists still spend too much time wrangling data, a process complicated by the fact that molecules can be represented in many ways: from text descriptions to images or data structures.
